So recently, I ran a favourite British player vote, which Jake Fearnley won.
In Covid times, I ran lots of polls and one of them was to find the favourite International player - for the life of me I cant find who won it! But a lot has changed since then with the Big 3 and Serena all retiring.
So, I thought I would give it another go and see what the current board members think our favourite overall international player is!
128 players - 64 men and 64 women (NO BRITS!). Top 56 singles players in each of the men and women, top 8 doubles players in each.
16 groups of 8 - the top 2 will get through from each group. If there is a tie, there will be a vote off.
From the second round of 32, 4 groups of 8 will be formed and 8 will proceed to a final.
This first vote will run 2 days as there are a lot of groups and will close at 5PM on Wednesday. That will allow the ties to have play off votes that evening.
Semis will run Thursday morning to Friday night; final will run Sat morning to Sunday night
Each group as 4 men and 4 women, Organised based on rankings. I simply went through the list and allocated, so no favouritism, but the top players are kept apart. Each group has 7 singles players and 1 of the doubles players
Enjoy and if you vote, say who you vote for to allow the voting to keep alive and active!
This is about your favourite and not who is best - but let us know who is your favourite international player!
Worth noting - in the semis, groups are decided by finishing positions in first round. So there could be mixed up groups of men and women in an uneven fashion. Think of it like a World Cup - someone may get the kind draw, someone the group of death!
Trawling through, we have two groups with second place ties that might go to a tie break vote tomorrow evening, and one group with a top place tie that might need a 5 pence piece to be dusted off and flipped!
